Learning Factory News

It's been merely a week since KOTOVOD Learning Factory has re-opened its doors to general public, but the fruits of hard work are already in bloom, and boy, are they promising! Cats of all kinds are visiting the factory these days: including a very peculiar breed of Clerk Cats, who are usually too busy with work to be shopping (nice try though: we all know that cats are only pretending to be working)! But they have made an exception due to how awesome the KOTOVOD goods are! Especially with the brand new Loom machine, that is making the finest pieces of cloth for cat Pillows.

The Factory's administration has also recommended us to remind all the engineers: please don't mind the machinery malfunctions at the moment, our tech staff is working hard on fixing those. There's no immanent danger to the personnel. Maybe. We'll figure this out. Please follow the updates.

Humans make mistakes. And, hard to believe as it is, cats make mistakes sometime, too. Even Dr. Katz! Which is why the very first day after Learning Factory's Grand Re-Opening is dedicated to fixing teeny-tiny hardware and software glitches, that only naturally occur as the Factory is coming back to life after so many years in slumber.

That said, if you smell smoke, or see an open fire, or notice Dr. Katz wildly running around the Factory premises and yelling - please remain calm and report to our Technical Department. Most likely, none of this will happen, but we do value psychological comfort of our employees, so we decided to give you a heads-up. Glory to KOTOVOD!
